ABOUT THE EVENT

Houston’s arts and culture scene is far greater than a point of pride, it’s a strategic asset that strengthens our economy, attracts talent, and elevates our global reputation.

At an upcoming Greater Houston Partnership Forum, we’ll convene leaders from across Houston’s arts and culture ecosystem for a timely panel discussion on the role of the arts in shaping Houston’s economic vitality, quality of life, and appeal as a world-class destination.

Houston is home to one of the most vibrant and diverse arts communities in the country, earning national and international recognition for artistic excellence, innovation, and scale. From award-winning institutions to boundary-pushing performances, the arts continue to reinforce what makes Houston distinctive and competitive on the global stage.

This conversation will explore:

• How arts and culture contribute to Houston’s economy and workforce attraction
• Why cultural investment matters for long-term regional competitiveness
• What’s ahead for Houston’s arts community in 2026 and beyond

Additional details, including panelists, will be shared soon. We hope you’ll join us for this engaging discussion on one of Houston’s defining strengths.
